Monica Shares ‘New Life’ With 106 & Park

With Monica‘s ‘New Life’ finally in stores, the singer has hit the promotional run in support of it. Her latest stop? BET’s 106 & Park, where she chatted it up about everything from the album, to the status of her joint tour with Brandy, to her marriage, and more.

I can relate to so much on this album. I love the arrangments of these songs. They are simply beautiful.

I personally can relate to how raw she was on this album. Some may find it boring, but if you listen to the lyrics and how she breathes life into these songs, you’d be blown away.

I can feel the pain of the break up songs, and I can feel and personally understand the love she is in now… especially when she sings like, ” How did I survive all this time without you / I thank God every night that you’re laying by side..”

This album has direction and a theme of dealing with past then moving on and embracing the new life so you have songs like Big Mistake, Until It’s Gone, Time To Move On etc… & then you have songs like Without You, Amazin, Daddys Good Girl, Man Who Has Everything that embraces that newness and understanding.

This album has direction more than any other Monica album although Still Standing is still my favourite album in terms of overall songs.

I feel that having a balanced album like this New Life CD mean that theres room for even more when it comes to the next album.

Very impressed i am with Monica and the growth of music in certain songs
